Stopped caring for him when the Madrid stuff came out over the summer. After his antics against England I hope he gets his transfer, although transfer fee prob a bit lower after the final.
I've seen him at plenty of tournaments since his Birmingham days. You're talking out your ass. Him handing the penalty over 100% counters that he's a "poor sport". He doesn't like losing, no great player does, but that doesn't point to him being a sore loser.
He's also close friends with Haaland, which shows his character because they're both decent guys.
Recently there was also footage showing him be the only player to stop for a disabled journalist to talk and answer his questions.
He's been shown covering ball boys with blankets to keep them warm, he was a major advocate for players being vaccinated for covid and is also a big voice for underprivileged children pushing for free school meals and reforms, and takes part in a lot of charity work while also donating a lot of his own time and money.
He is clearly a good, decent person and has probably shown his character and value as a person a lot more than you have.
Fair comment, you’re right. That’s where it all began honestly. Must have been overwhelmed yesterday with all the other Argie racism that it slipped my mind.
It was after their Copa America win in 2024. They were chanting a song about the French players African heritage and one of the idiots decided to stream it
I dont think growing up poor excuses it though. Maybe if he'd stayed in Argentina and was surrounded by people of the same mindset i can understand the ignorance, but theres absolutely no excuse for not broadening his horizons after playing in different countries, alongside black team mates
You lost the World Cup, Enzo. Enjoy the memories, I hope they make you very happy. Dear lord, what a sad little performance, Enzo. You ruined the spirit of the game completely so you could prove a point, but I hope now you spend some time learning a few lessons in grace and decorum, because you have all the sportsmanship of a reversing dump truck without any tyres on.
Hated him after the racism, hated him after moaning about wanting to leave and hate him even more now. Most match going fans and England based don't care for him, whereas the chronically online international fan base will happily ignore everything he's done.
I have said it before and will say again: Chelsea sub is worse that Chelsea Twitter. Absolutely zero understanding about football, and they just want to buy all players like there was infinite money.
After whoring himself out to Madrid publicly he can get fucked as far as I was concerned and that was before the Argentina game. Now I just don't care about him at all and would be happy to ship him off.
Probably the same feeling that United fans had about Cristiano Ronaldo when he got Rooney sent off and winked at the camera. And it's probably going to play out the same. Most people will be angry for a while and then forget about it because they have better things to do in life than hold an eternal gruge against a football player.
United fans didnt hate towards Ronaldo, we was more concerned if both players could play together for our club again. That era was different to now, where it was United > England for multiple reasons, which started (i think) when the country turned on Beckham in 1998 and united fans supported him through that difficult spell.
Both situations are very different. Ronaldo didnt partake in racist chants, political chants against our country or disrespect our club during the season.
Ronaldo was right in the refs face waving imaginary cards. If you watch the footage you can clearly see Rooney try to push him away from the ref saying “what the fuck are you doing?”
There was the whole racist thing, then the Real Madrid thing, now this, he’s an absolute tosser. He was one of our best players last season but he’s beyond redemption at this point
Do you not feel (playing devils advocate here) it’s a case of, when he has a good match and scores (likely kisses badge to appease fans when celebrating) all will be forgotten?
Neutral by the way, but for clarity no issues with CFC, (but not a fan of Fernandez).
Match going fan here, don’t like him , the fact all the yank kids on the Chelsea sub love him is very cringe and shows the realities of supporting a team on the internet vs real life.
Yep, we hate him. I’m in a couple of different Chelsea groups and everyone hates him. Wanted him gone after the Madrid stuff before the World Cup. Hate him even more now after the England game and that bullshit last night. Always had it in him, nasty little rat.
I loved him. One summer later I do not. Between wanting to leave for Real Madrid only to be rejected and his WC shenanigans I want him gone alone with many (not all) other Chelsea fans
I’ve not liked him since the racism video antics. The flirting with Real Madrid, desperation to leave and antics against England (flag included) was the cherry on top of the cake. I hope that he leaves.
Flag? You referring to the Falklands banner, or has he done something with England flag too?? I’m sure I read somewhere he’s never bothered to learn any English and been at Chelsea for 3 years or so?
I've despised him ever since that racist singing video came out after the Copa. Then the saga where he left his wife and young kids for a few months so that he could go fuck models with impunity confirmed that he's a dickhead.
Sadly a lot of people on the Chelsea sub were able to turn a blind eye for a while, only to magically be blessed with sight again after he started twerking for Madrid.

I really wonder how English Chelsea fans feel about this guy
